TV Top Gear UK

[SpeedSpeak2me]

So, only saw a couple of specific Top Gear threads in TV, mostly for specials, so if there are others for specifically for the UK version and didn't have a prefix, oops.

Season 31 kicked off last week. Still not really liking Paddy, and Freddie looks a bit odd with his choice of eye wear, but the first episode was pretty decent.

Watching the second episode now and have to admit they are doing some things the original trio would not have done. Yeah, they're doing the whole "caravan" thing again, but put their own spin on it. They added a chili eating contest in with a timed trial, on top of a grassy wet hill, in the fog. Harris's reactions are just golden. The hi-jinks they get in to are pretty funny.

I do feel bad for some of the cars. They're gonna have stains that never come out.

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Told ya!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

”that’s fairy juice!”

 

[IDAFC21]

god what did Harris say when he was chomping into that habanero pepper.....something about the devils testicles ??

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

It was a very entertaining episode. The shit they say under duress.

Gotta have it to Freddie though. He powered through all of them.

"Im in troobble lads!!"

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

This week’s episode is starting off well.

“Take two fingers and stroke”

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Also, Chris Harris looks strange without his 5 o’clock shadow.

Finally just watched last weeks show from Iceland God I've been watching this show too long when I can actually understand what Paddy is saying.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Paddy and Freddie. Didn't Chris Harris look odd with both facial hair and head shaved clean? There was something a bit off with that look.

 

[IDAFC21]

Yeah it was a little weird

I was able to watch the first episode via BBC America, but attempting to watch the second and it's telling me I need to enter a code for my TV provide. Fml. I don't pay for a TV provider, I stream everything.

 

[IDAFC21]

God these seasons are so short. Just watched last weeks finale. the 50 MPH challenge ??

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Season 23 starts tonight, BBC America, 9pm. Might need Shawn1112 to help translate. I expect they’re going to get the terminology all wrong.

No clue what your talking about

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

No clue what your talking about

They’re in Miami, doing large sized tires, I’m expecting them to call everything a Donk.

 

[IDAFC21]

The cop episode ? ?

And christ, Freddie has done a LOT of crazy shit on this show, but I give him some massive props for doing that bobsled run ? Just the look on his face when the coach was trying to explain the track to him

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

That one was pretty entertaining. Massive props to Freddie for doing that.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Another entertaining episode. I think last week‘s was a bit better. I’m missing the Stig segments though.

Admiral Fiddler ? ? ?

When I was messing around on the CB (mid 90's) we'd go by what our porn name would be. Name of first pet, plus name of first street you lived on.

I was "Tiger Morgan", LOL

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Watching tonight’s episode. This is turning out to be rather entertaining. ??
